Elneny dropped: Arsenal predicted 4-2-3-1 v CSKA Moscow

Arsenal face CSKA Moscow on Thursday night at Ashburton Grove and will be hoping to put the tie to bed before a tough trip to Russia next week.

1Overview

Coming off the back of a good win against Stoke, albeit with an overall poor performance, Arsenal have won their last four games in all competitions and haven’t lost a game in almost a month. Of course, they’ve been helped immensely by not playing that much football.

Ahead of the game, Arsene Wenger has a few choices to make about who starts.

Injury concerns hang over Petr Cech, Laurent Koscielny, Jack Wilshere, and Danny Welbeck while we know Santi Cazorla, despite being named in the Europa League squad for the second half of the season isn’t expected back in action until 2019, that’s if you’re expecting him back at all which probably isn’t the safest bet.

So how will Wenger set up his side against the team third in the Russian Premier League?
